While I sit here, a hefty 12 pounds heavier than the last time I posted....stupid winter weight gain.....(cuz, uhmmm, it can't be *my* fault) I realize how excited I am to run again...not just run, but to race...although, truth be told, I hardly RACE...I just compete to ge to the finish line faster than I did last time (which rarely happens)
Any ole how... I am planning our 2011 races, and due to my hubby's crap-tastic job, and the fact that the guy I babysit for got laid off AGAIN, we are in SERIOUS financial stress......worse than I can ever remember us being in :-(, but, we aren't willing to give up races completely....we are planning on doing 1 race per month, and enlisting the help of family for (free) babysitting services.....*hint, hint* family :-)
So, here's a toast:
to a great 2011
to PR's in both the 5K and the half (for me)
to healthy and injury-free running
to "winter-weight" weight LOSS
to a more 'prosperous' year for us all!!!!!!!
